Alden Black Shell Cordovan Wing Tip Boots
At TheShoeMart, we pride ourselves on having a wide variety of Customer Bootmaker Edition Alden Shoes. We just got a new shipment of our Alden 4465H Black Shell Cordovan Wing Tip Boot back in stock!
Black Shell Cordovan Leather
While we love the nuances of Color 8, we think Black Shell Cordovan deserves a second glance. It's elegant shine and versatility make it a great neutral choice for boots. This is particularly so for the New England autumn color palette. A great way to shift away from your summer wardrobe and into nights filled with longer hours, Black Shell Cordovan boots pair well with a wide range of fall favorites--from more conservative black and gray to more casual denim and olive.
Other Features
The 4465H has a classic American country silhouette. It's crafted on the Barrie Last with a 360-Degree Goodyear Storm Welt that gives it a substantial appearance. The flat waxed boot laces can be a bit tedious to thread through all 9 eyelets. We made this boot with Speed hooks so getting these on will be quick, clean, and easy.
Black Shell Cordovan Boots in Different Lighting
One our our favorite Custom Bootmaker Edition Alden boots, the classic wing tip boot pattern in Black Shell Cordovan leather looks great in all kinds of lighting--from the bright afternoon sun to low evening light. Take a long look below and see for yourself!
Popular Black Shell Cordovan Boots
For those of you that prefer 9 eyelet boots (and we know you are out there!) we offer some great options without speed hooks as well.
Some of our other popular black shell cordovan boots include the 4065 cap toe boot on the Grant last, the black shell cordovan Indy boot with commando soles, and the D5826C plain toe Barrie last boot also with commando soles.
4065 Cap Toe Boot
If there is one black shell boot you should own, it's this one. The Alden 4065 is an elegant cap toe boot on the Grant Last. This style is sleek and simple enough to be acceptable for both business and semi-formal wear. You can wear it almost anywhere you would wear a cap toe blucher.
40569C Indy Boot
Our Black Shell Cordovan Indy boot re-imagines the classic silhouette of the Alden 405 boot for this elegant yet durable leather. Commando soles and 360-Degree storm welts make this boot not only look tough, but perform as well. The sleekness of the shell cordovan leather is complimented by dropping the traditional indy boot speed hooks for a sleek, all-eyelet shaft. The TruBalance Last offers that signature supportive feel with plenty of space.
D5826C Plain Toe Boot
This Barrie last plain toe boot gets a lot of love in color 8, but we think it looks especially cool in all black. The plain toe and 270 degree goodyear welt offer good balance to the commando sole and help this commando sole boot toe the line between formal and casual.
